Art on Mondays, Day 1

Can I just confess that I am soooooo not an “art mom”? But when I read things like Raising Artistic Children on blogs like Exploring More I get inspired.

For the Art on Mondays segment of my A STEM Summer plans, I needed something really basic and teacher-proof (although I HATE that term). Irene Luzbacher’s 123 I Can Paint is the perfect, inexpensive book for me because it is holding my hand through the whole process. (Here are my Week 1 plans for A STEM Summer.)

Just unleashing my two-year-old with finger paint inside my house is scary to me. But I’m coping.

Lesson #1 (pp 6-7) is called Mix it Up and it teaches the terms primary and secondary colors.
